A branch of the Order of Dimns
Alang, Philippines Natlonnl Society,
has recently been organized among
the Kauai Filipinos. Mr. Pedro Lo
reto. grand counsellor of the order,
and who was sent here to visit the
balangays already organized, Is still
here an Kauai, extending his serv
ices and teaching the cabinet offi
cers of the order all Instructions
necessary for the furtherance of
said order. Through the secretary of
the Planters, J. W. Butler, a letter
to each manager of the various plan
tations endorsing the good work of
the order of Dlmas-AIang and its
officers have been sent. Beside this
circular, Mr. Pedro Loreto, while on
Kauai, has Interviewed personally
many managers who had expressed
their cordial appreciation and would
be glad to see the order go. Loreto
has spoken on many topics while on
Kauai to his countrymen along the
lines of thriftiness, working steady,
unions to end troubles and evils.
The order when first started here
on Kauai had stirred an agitation,
especially among the managers.
Many thot this organization would
eventually turn Into a labor society.
Naturally at this time, any organ
ization that may now be organized,
at this most critical time, would be
suspected to become as such. But!
speaking in behalf of the order in
so far as the Order of Dlmas-AIang
is concerned, in its relation to the
planters, I am of the deep convic
tion that the order instead of cre
ating an upheaval against the plant
ers due to the reduction of wages,
it will vice versa the suspicion. I
dare say here to the plantations
frankly that any labor movement
that may attempt to upset the Or
der of Dlmas-AIang on Kauai so as
to follow its way, will not In any
way be tolerated. Kauai is in the
grip of the Order of Dimas-Alang
and free absolutely from the hand
of the outsiders. Kauai has 18 lo
cals of this order, Hawaii 23, Oabu
and Maui 2. Any man who says
he could drive the Filipinos into
any dreadful destructive means in or
der to fight the reduction is dictat
ing himself wrongly. The Filipinos
at present are not the Filipinos of
a year ago. They never will yield
any more to a brilliant speaker who
pretends to fight against wages and
abandoned them after the struggle,
clotheless, hungry and almost dead.
We have had enough of that lesson
so that the Order of Dimas-Alang
all over the territory could be look
ed upon not as an enemy but as
an ever ready helper in the promo
tion of their Interest.
A careful student of the Filipino
situation now would be easily con
vinced that the chief causes of most
troubles during the past and even
now have been due to the misun
derstanding between the planters
and the Filipino laborers. We should
not overlook the fact that while
there are Filipinos here who are
endeavoring to the limit of their ca
pacity to .better their showing as
a nation, there are always those
who are contradicting the activity,
If a Filipino luna has been long in
a plantation service, he is looked
upon as trustworthy, capable and
infallible. This means that taking
an Incapable Filipino, 4t he had
only remained on the same planta
tlon for a good many years, he will
be considered a good man by the
plantation. In this way an educated
man may now come up. and start
an organization. The luna is natur
ally pro-plantation. The founder must
be a man who works for the plan
tation and labor mutual good. This
luna, realizing the fact that it he
let the educated man ascend in hon
or, he will be belittled by the planta
tion. For this reason, this luna, in
order to prevent educated men from
going ahead, will have put up every
possible scheme there is to deceive
the managers. Instantly., the luna
beleivlng that a strike is the sure-
est scheme, he will begin to pro
pagate this idea of strike to his
manager, who trusts every word
that comes from his mouth due to
long service to his plantation. Of
course when the manager got the
word of strike, he is instantly per
suaded by his luna, who he regards
as infallible. Here, in this example,
you see where the stone got to,
In compliance with all the mana
gers' request to the grand counsellor
of the Order of Dimas-Alang, Mr,
Pedro Loreto, Rizal Day celebration

December Instead of on the 30th
